Signs a Hot Water Tank Needs Repair or Replacement

There are many indications that hot water tank repair is needed. You don’t have to wait until a system failure to call for help. The signs of trouble aren’t necessarily dramatic, but subtle changes in how your water heater works can let you know if the tank needs to be serviced. These are sure signs of a problem and that your water heater tank may not be up to code. If you see a leak, replace the system immediately. A flood can do exponentially worse and more expensive damage to your home than hot water tank repair or replacement.

Water: Moisture is the most obvious sign of a leak or fracture. Over time, it’s not uncommon for leaks to spring up because the metal weakens over time as it expands and contracts with temperature changes. As metal heats and expands, water leaks out; the leak may stop once the metal cools. Unless there are leaky pipes or loose connections and fittings, the heater and tank may need to be replaced.

Rust: If your hot water is coming out of the faucet rusty, the water heater may be rusting on the inside. This can also come from rusty pipes. There is, however, an easy way to determine if the discolored water is coming from the tank. Use a five-gallon bucket to drain water out of the heater tank; continue this until the water is clear. Three or more buckets full of rusty water likely means the water heater and tank need repairs or replacement.

Noise: Water heater tanks are notorious for collecting sediment. As this builds up, the material gets heated each time the system turns on. Once the sediment hardens, you’ll hear banging noises and rumbling sounds. Aside from making the system less efficient and increasing the likelihood of additional damage, the noise is an indicator you need hot water tank replacement.

Cool water: Sediment and minerals that settle to the bottom create an insulation that prevents heat from transferring from the heater to the water. This problem worsens over time. It will take the water heater longer to work as expected, and the constant heating will eventually wear out and damage the tank to the point of failure.
